Location | Gibraltar City Hall |
Country | Gibraltar |
Presented by | Mayor of Gibraltar |
First awarded | 2008 |
Currently held by | See Recipients |
The Gibraltar Medallion of Honour (GMH) is a civil award scheme established by the Government of the British overseas territory of Gibraltar. Its creation was announced in July 2008 by Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Peter Caruana.[1][2] It ranks below the Freedom of the City of Gibraltar.[2]
Award
The Gibraltar Medallion of Honour is awarded annually by the Gibraltar Parliament[2] on "living or deceased Gibraltarians and others who the Parliament considers have served and contributed to the interests of Gibraltar and its people in an exceptional manner that is particularly worthy of special recognition by the House on behalf of the people of Gibraltar".[3][4]
Once approved by Parliament, the awards are officially announced by the Mayor of Gibraltar prior to the symbolic release of the red and white balloons on Gibraltar National Day.[5] The Mayor then presents the recipients with the Medallions in a private ceremony held at a later date.[6]
In July 2011, the Gibraltar Parliament passed a motion allowing all Medallion recipients to use the letters GMH after their name as with other HM honours.[7]
